I agree. I'm a pretty hardcore liberal. After seeing only viewpoints I agree with on this subreddit for months I wanted to see what would happen if I posted something conservative. Exactly as I expected. Zero discussion, five downvotes. People just bury the viewpoints they disagree with. Ill continue my quest for a balanced news source. This sure isn't it.

See my first thought was to reject it solely based on the source, my uncle actually sent this article to me (he's very conservative). However, if you just reject something because of a highly biased source, most of the stuff in r/politics should be rejected immediately. Think progress, Mother Jones, and many of the other front page favorites on r/politics or r/worldnews are openly "Liberal interest magazines".

Yeah. It's not their bias toward the right, the Washington Post is biased toward the right. It's the plain lies that bullshit factories like Newsmax, Breitbart, Infowars, and the rest of the extreme right echo chamber produce. If they weren't liars, their biases wouldn't be as big of a problem. But they insist on posting crap like birther nonsense, "death panels," and James OKieffe video creations. How many times do they get to lie before people just stop listening?

Come on man, you know our side does the same shit. Don't be sucked into in-group bias. We're no better than them. An article from a highly biased source should be read with the knowledge that it's highly biased, but it shouldn't be instantly discounted, it could still make some good points.
